What is Academic Performance Index (API)
API scores are a number on a scale of 200 to 1000 that indicates how well a school performed academically in the previous year. The API measures a school’s change in test achievement and progress toward a target API of 800. The API ranks school performance, sets growth targets, and provides similar-school comparisons. It is the cornerstone of the Public Schools Accountability Act. The STAR tests are part of what constitutes the API. (From the STAR TESTING GLOSSARY OF TERMS)

For Buyers-

Why buy now?

• Prices are attractive (Some values have declined to 2001-2004 sales)
• Interest Rates are very attractive  (The last time long-term rates were lower was in the 1950s, when 30-year loans weren’t widely available)
• Building your own equity instead of someone else’s equity
• Income Tax benefits (for now at least)

For Sellers-

There is a lot of Weight in Curb Appeal!

When selling your home, take the time to enhance your home’s showing attributes.  When potential buyers drive past your home, their first impression will be based on what they see on the outside. Take time to spruce up the front of the home to attract buyers to come inside.  Keep yards well watered and well manicured.  Keep the paint on the front of the house clean and freshly painted. Clean up any clutter on porches and keep planted pots with fresh flowers.  Trim down overgrown plants and trees and trees, and keep lawns mowed weekly until you close escrow!
